Quinta do Vallado Wine Cellars

The Douro wine valley is a breathtaking and surprising landscape. That magnificence required a protection of the landscape that now results in a aestheticizing and sometimes immobilist vision of the wine production needs. The Adega da Quinta do Vallado's building is a fine example of the ability to integrate these infrastructures into the landscape that, besides meeting and modernising the production needs, are also places for contemplation, leisure and tourism. The building is made up of slate-covered concrete masses with various heights, thereby solving the relation to the topography through the connection of those masses.
